1944 – Now Philippe Leruth, how much are journalists under threat now in comparison to what was happening before? It’s not worse now in his opinion.

1946 – What’s the difference between journalists and bloggers? What sets the journalists apart? People should be respectful if they are journalists (British onestoo?)

1948 – Supposedly journalists are supposed to provide information that is in the public interest, not just in the private interest in the way that bloggers are supposed to do. I’m not really in agreement with that.

1957 – Eberhard Kempf now speaking. It’s a long ramble, I do not completely follow what his point is. Maybe my German is not as good as it used to be.

2002 – Now time for Klaus-Heiner Lehne. He’s old and CDU. Will be be interesting?

2003 – It’s better to speak to journalists where possible, rather than trying a legal process against journalists. Aim to avoid such legal-journalist fights. And what if the opponent is a blogger? If there is an unequal allocation of financial resources then we need to deal with that. Against a blogger is different to being against FAZ or the Springer Verlag.

2010 – I’m now completely and totally lost. What is the point here? I’m thinking of heading off and going to get a beer… I’m a blogger here, I want some practical tips and some relevant, everyday things to use. Not a detailed discussion of German law.
